HBO has been on a roll currently and the staff at Enhancv has been having fun with each minute of it. Two years in the past, we geeked out on Game of Thrones and now we’re indulging in our collective Chernobyl fandom.

Why?

Effectively, as a result of it’s enjoyable.

But additionally as a result of we love telling tales. We’re not pretty much as good at it as HBO however hey, a software program firm can dream proper?

Creating the resumes for Anatoly Dyatlov and Valery Legasov allow us to discover methods to condense the lives of two consequential and (till lately) obscure individuals into single pages which nonetheless managed to inform their tales.

We predict each have plenty to show each concerning the individuals and about how resumes can (and may) inform compelling tales generally.

Hero of the Russian Federation, the resume of Valery Legasov

Frankly, we needed to place collectively a resume that was a becoming tribute for Legasov. The problem was to compress his achievements and expertise into one thing that might be attention-grabbing for somebody conversant in his story and informative for anybody who is aware of nothing about it.

Funnily sufficient, that’s the problem most resume writers face. You don’t all the time know whether or not the particular person studying it’ll be steeped in your discipline or only a random HR particular person.

For Legasov, this meant acknowledging his work in physics and chemistry previous to the Chernobyl catastrophe, whereas placing the main target there. It displays his voice in addition to his achievements.

A blended bag, the resume of Anatoly Dyatlov

Spoiler alert for anybody who hasn’t seen the present but however Dyatlov is… not the hero.

His resume balances his confidence, his real accomplishments, and has a little bit enjoyable alongside the way in which.

References to his “secret supervision room” apart, it’s a pleasant reminder that his failures in the course of the Chernobyl catastrophe shouldn’t overshadow the truth that he had an actual expertise. He’d even skilled a small scale nuclear accident earlier than!

What do these resumes have to show us?

We hope this can be a reminder that the historical past of your work is greater than only a record of what you probably did, it’s your story.

The way you inform that story makes all of the distinction.

Within the meantime, benefit from the present and steer clear of these REMs. In any other case, it’s the top of the world as we all know it.
